IMPRovEMENT IN FENcE.'

The Scheule referred to in these Letters Patent and making pnrtof the same.

To all whom tt may concern:

Be it li-nown that I, GEORGE-W. HUNTER, of Versailles, in the county ot' Ripley, and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful, Improvement inv Felices; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and correct description ot' the saine, sntticient to enable others skilled in the class to which m'y invention ammrtains, to fully understand and construct the same, reference being had to lthe 'accompanying drawings, which make part of this specification, and lwhich represent a perspective view of a fence constrncted according to my invention.

The nature of my invention consists in the arrangement ot' short and long rails, to eonsunct a tence running over a hill or rise in the ground, so that the panels of the same shall all be level and of a height.

A, in -the drawings. mayr represent the'rails of a common wornit`ence, on even ground, which fence is to be rnn over a hill, B. Y y

C represents a series of short rails, laid with `one end' between -rails'A and the other on the ground. v

'lhese rails C increase in length till they do not rest any more 'on the ground, but between the .ends of longery rails, 1),'the other ends of which rest on the ground until one is level with the top of the hill, when they are laid between the ends of sholter rails, E, v

and, in the reverse manner, down the other sident` the hill.

To make the panels of a height, I lay the ends of the three uppermost rails D', of the panel D, nearest' to the hase-of the hill, upon each other, instead of between the rails C, while their other ends-rest hetween the ends of rails E.

Rails F, placed vertically against the corners where the rails interlock, brace the fence.

In this manner a worm-fence, the panels ot' which are of a height, is constructed level over a liill or any rise in the ground.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

rIhe arrangement, in a worm-fence, of the rails G,

. D, D', E, and Ii, in 4the manner shown, and for 4the purpose described.
